The Seahawks’ DK Metcalf (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Rams after missing practice all week. In Metcalf’s ongoing absence, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett should continue operating as Seattle’s top two receivers versus Los Angeles and could see even more opportunity than Week 8, when also factoring in the absence of tight end Noah Fant (groin). The Rams’ Puka Nacua (knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks after logging a limited practice Thursday and missing Friday’s session altogether. As per early Sunday reports, Nacua is expected to try and suit up. If he were to reverse course and sit out, Cooper Kupp would be in line for even more work than usual as the No. 1 wideout for Matthew Stafford, while Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson and Jordan Whittington (questionable, shoulder) would all project for more work as well. The Bills’ Amari Cooper (wrist) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins after practicing in limited fashion all week. If Cooper can’t play, Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman will be set to operate as the Bills’ top two receivers versus Miami. The Jaguars’ Brian Thomas (chest) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Eagles after practicing in limited fashion all week. As per early Sunday morning reports, Thomas is expected to play. With Christian Kirk (collarbone) now on injured reserve and Gabe Davis (shoulder) reportedly trending toward an absence, Thomas could have an even bigger role than usual versus Philadelphia. The Jaguars’ Gabe Davis (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Eagles after practicing in limited fashion all week. As per early Sunday reports, Davis is leaning toward not being available. If he does indeed sit out, Parker Washington would be in line to serve as the No. 2 wideout alongside Brian Thomas (chest), who is expected to play per Sunday morning reports. The Jaguars’ Christian Kirk (collarbone) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, ending his season. In his absence the rest of the way, Tim Jones and Parker Washington will bump up a spot on the depth chart, and the two could be in for even bigger roles in Sunday’s game against the Eagles with Gabe Davis (shoulder) trending toward not being available. The Buccaneers’ Mike Evans (hamstring) is out for Monday night’s game against the Chiefs after once again missing practice all week. In his absence and that of Chris Godwin (IR, ankle), rookie Jalen McMillan (questionable, hamstring) and Trey Palmer are in line to serve as the top two receivers for Tampa Bay, while running back Rachaad White and tight end Cade Otton (20 targets in last two games) will also be projected for an increase in pass-catching work. The Bengals’ Tee Higgins (quadriceps) is out for Sunday’s game against the Raiders after missing practice all week. In Higgins’ second straight absence, second-year wideout Andrei Iosivas should once again fill the No. 2 role, although tight end Mike Gesicki, who’s been consistently more involved during each of Higgins’ three absences to date, could also be due for another busy afternoon. The Lions’ Jameson Williams (suspension) remains out for Sunday’s game against the Packers as he serves the second and final game of his league-imposed ban. In Williams’ absence, veterans Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond should once again each bump up a spot on the depth chart behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, but tight end Sam LaPorta should also see an increase in targets as was the case in Week 8 versus the Titans. The Titans’ Tyler Boyd (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Patriots after missing practice all week. As per early Sunday reports, Boyd is expected to play. If he were to have a setback, rookie sixth-round pick Jha’Quan Jackson would be in line to slot into the No. 3 receiver role. The Chargers’ Quentin Johnston is off the injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Browns after finishing the week with two full practices following a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. Johnston’s return should see him slot back into one of the Chargers’ top three receiver spots, although D.J. Chark’s potential season debut could cut into some of Johnston’s downfield work. The Chiefs’ JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) remains out for Monday night’s game against the Buccaneers after missing practice all week. In Smith-Schuster’s absence, DeAndre Hopkins could be busier than in his Chiefs debut in Week 8 following another week of practice, while Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson could also see a potential increase in opportunity. The Buccaneers’ Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is questionable for Monday night’s game against the Chiefs after finishing the week with a limited Saturday practice. If McMillan were unable to play, Trey Palmer would move into the de facto No. 1 receiver role for Tampa Bay while both Rachaad White and Cade Otton would be in line for even more pass-catching work. The Panthers’ Adam Thielen (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game against the Saints despite once again putting in limited practices both Wednesday and Thursday. With the veteran wideout sidelined at least one more week and Diontae Johnson having been traded to the Ravens earlier in the week, Xavier Legette (questionable, toe) will be set to operate as the No. 1 receiver if he’s able to play through his own injury. The Panthers’ Xavier Legette (toe) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Saints after finishing the week with two limited practices. As per early Sunday reports, Legette is expected to play and will be in line to serve as Carolina’s No. 1 wideout. If he were to reverse course, Jalen Coker would move into the de facto No. 1 receiver role versus New Orleans while David Moore and Jonathan Mingo would also bump up a spot on the depth chart. The Chargers’ DJ Chark (groin) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Browns after finishing the week with two full practices. If Chark is able to suit up, he’ll slot into one of the top four receiver roles for Los Angeles alongside Ladd McConkey, the returning Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer. The Rams’ Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks after practicing in limited fashion all week. If Whittington can’t suit up, Tyler Johnson would bump up a notch on the depth chart. The Patriots’ Ja’Lynn Polk is off the injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Titans after finishing the week with two full practices following a Week 8 absence due to a concussion. Polk should slot back into a No. 4 receiver role in his return, although he could share snaps with the likes of Kendrick Bourne and Kayshon Boutte as New England continues to spread targets out behind No. 1 wideout DeMario Douglas. The Bills’ Curtis Samuel (pectoral) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins after practicing in limited fashion all week. In his absence, Jalen Virgil should move into the No. 5 receiver role versus Miami. The Buccaneers’ Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is questionable for Monday night’s game against the Chiefs after only logging a limited Saturday practice this week. If Shepard can’t suit up, Ryan Miller and Rakim Jarrett could end up splitting No. 2 receiver snaps. The Saints’ Bub Means (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, sidelining him for the next four games at minimum. In his absence, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Cedrick Wilson (questionable, hip) will likely see larger reserve roles beginning with Sunday’s divisional clash against the Panthers.
